    LAMP Seminar: “Mechanics of Contact, Friction, and Fracture (by design) – Towards the Interaction between the Natural and Built Environment”

    December 5, 2025 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM /
    LRSM Reading Room 3231 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Contact, friction, and fracture are fundamental processes governing the emergent (mechanical) behaviors of various complex (material) systems, from as large as tectonic slip to as small as third-body wear. In […]

    Doctoral Dissertation Defense – Spencer Averbeck “Advancing neural interface technologies for high-fidelity cortical recording and stimulation”

    January 12 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Class of 62 Auditorium, John Morgan Building 3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA
    Wednesday Jan 14

    ASSET Seminar: “Formal Methods for Language Model Systems”

    January 14 @ 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM /
    Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States

    Formal methods are often dismissed as too rigid, complex, or unscalable for frontier language model systems (e.g., LLMs, VLMs, agentic systems). In this talk, I will challenge this assumption with […]
